Help CentreTerminal Illness Cover: Understanding and Claiming
Receiving a terminal illness diagnosis is an incredibly challenging experience. However, you might have access to crucial financial support through insurance in your superannuation. Many Australians are unaware of this benefit, but Claimsplus Lawyers is here to help discover your entitlements and guide you through the claims process.
What is Terminal Illness Cover?
Included in most superannuation policies, Terminal Illness Cover provides a lump-sum payment if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness and have a life expectancy of less than 24 months, as certified by medical professionals. This payment can be used for medical treatments, debt clearance, or managing regular bills, offering relief during difficult times.
Who Can Make a Claim?
You may be eligible to claim if:
- Diagnosis: You have a medical diagnosis of a terminal illness with a life expectancy of up to 24 months. Two doctors must confirm this diagnosis, one of whom should be a specialist in your area of illness.
- Policy Compliance: Your claim aligns with the terms of your superannuation policy.
Example Case:
Tom, a 45-year-old engineer, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and given less than 24 months to live. His superannuation included Terminal Illness Cover, and he received a payout that helped him afford medical treatments and spend quality time with his family, easing financial concerns.
